I came across an old recording of a show where I recounted some of my favorite releases from 2006, so I thought it would be worth posting. This is in no particular order and in no way captures all my favorites of 2006, but it serves of a good little recap of the albums that really connected with me that year. Fun facts: All these releases except for one are Canadian. Three of them were released by the bands without any label assistance. Six of the releases are self titled!

Looking at it now this list seems quite narrow in scope but as we now close in on the end of 2007 these albums still continue to impress me, and that is a good sign.
